Abstract

Conversations are key to creating understanding, acceptance, and change, especially in relation to racism and racial inequality but staff need to be equipped with the skills, knowledge and opportunities to engage, reflect and develop. The Faculty of STEM created a diverse project team to ensure staff within our remit are building EDI practice into their everyday. To support staff with developing their skills and knowledge, the project team designed a 3-phase, holistic and multi-layered programme with differentiated opportunities. This session will reflect on progress so far and draw on delegates experiences to design the final phase.
